Oh yeah, pal?

eBay is moving to accepting only PayPal payments in Australia, but they claim that they have no plans at all to do such a thing in the U.S., and they imply that we would be crazy to think otherwise.

Do you believe them? I don't.

eBay To Move To PayPal Only In Australia (WebProNews)
After negative publicity about an eBay plan to require users in Australia to use PayPal-only, its online payment system, rumors about a similar policy in the U.S. were met with a forceful denial from the company.

"In the U.S., we are not mulling, planning, or otherwise seriously considering a move to PayPal-only," wrote spokesman Usher Lieberman on the company's eBay Ink blog. "There are U.S. market-specific reasons why PayPal-only is something we simply cannot do in the U.S."
